# 📈 HFT & Quant

> Prepare for HFT and quant interviews on Launchpad with a focused probability course and a dedicated Low Latency HFT C++ curriculum.

The HFT and Quant track on Launchpad is for students targeting quantitative trading, market making, and high-frequency trading firms. It focuses on the two things those interviews test hardest: sharp probability reasoning and low latency C++ that actually reflects how HFT code is written.

## Probability

Quant and HFT interviews lean heavily on probability puzzles and reasoning under uncertainty. The Probability course builds:

* Foundations in discrete and continuous probability
* Expectation, variance, and conditional reasoning
* The problem-solving patterns that reappear across trading firm interviews

## Low Latency HFT C++

The Low Latency HFT C++ course focuses on C++ the way it is used at trading firms, where microseconds matter:

* Writing performance-aware C++ suitable for latency-sensitive systems
* Understanding the language features that show up in HFT interviews
* Patterns and habits that separate general-purpose C++ from HFT-grade C++

<Info>
  HFT and quant interviews often combine probability puzzles with C++ deep dives in the same round. Practicing both in parallel is the fastest way to build interview readiness.
